Hello,

When InvisionCommunity will be available on the lastest PHP 8.0??

Regards

I think it's still too early...

PHP 8 is not faster than PHP 7.4 for the vast majority of web applications. There are many great new features and language improvements, but speed improvements for web apps was not the focus of PHP 8. There will be limited reasons for IPS to officially support PHP 8 until it's baked a few versions, minimum.

We have been testing PHP 8 compatibility locally and it will be included in a future release, however I can't say exactly when that will be. I can say that certain third party libraries we use will also need updates before we can fully support PHP 8.

Will JIT be used?

JIT isn't something the application explicitly uses - it's a feature of the language that can be enabled or disabled in php.ini. It will be used if you enable it in your PHP configuration, in other words. Whether it will improve performance or not remains to be seen.

What do you mean? Its stable for quite a long time now.

What benkchmark did you use? I can see at least x2 speed improvment on the latest version.

Thank you for your answer, hopefully it will be soon 😉

Latest version of IPS? I haven’t personally benchmarked, but I’m going off what most the trusted PHP experts (and the PHP development team) have said about 8. Expect performance gains from JIT in certain specific calculation tasks and long running php apps. Most web apps (which aren’t either of those things) aren’t not expected to specifically benefit from the initial release of 8. If IPS is seeing a x2 performance gain, I would be shocked and that goes against everything written about the purpose and expectations for 8, but would obviously be a welcome surprise. 

Anecdotally I will say that IN_DEV locally feels a lot faster to me on PHP 8 than it does on PHP 7. I haven't measured speeds for both, however.

Hey guys! I can confirm that in our upcoming release we have added support for PHP 8 🎉

does it affect how thrid party app/plugin work?!

It may have an impact. Interesting to know how IPS, in the no-access-to-code-before-install model, will check for and notify of compatibility.

I am most pleased to hear this joyful news.  I observed that on my localhost install I could not get past the screen asking for my license key. For a brief moment or so, I had assumed I made an unidentifiable and critical error someplace yet not discovered. I shall take comfort in knowing that, in all likelihood, it was merely the incompatibility.

To be a little more clear. I can reach as far as the following URL. admin/install/?controller=license

But after entering my license key and submitting I am greeted with an all-white page that ends with the following URL. admin/install/index.php?controller=applications

My httpd error logs note the following of interest.

[Fri Feb 12 00:01:14.247050 2021] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 21325:tid 140322638108224] [client 127.0.0.1:44732] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught IPS\\Db\\Exception: No database selected in /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Db.php:638\nStack trace:\n#0 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(383): IPS\\_Db->preparedQuery()\n#1 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(281): IPS\\Db\\_Select->runQuery()\n#2 /srv/http/ips/system/Settings/Settings.php(182): IPS\\Db\\_Select->setKeyField()\n#3 /srv/http/ips/system/Settings/Settings.php(132): IPS\\_Settings->loadFromDb()\n#4 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Db.php(621): IPS\\_Settings->__get()\n#5 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(383): IPS\\_Db->preparedQuery()\n#6 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(281): IPS\\Db\\_Select->runQuery()\n#7 /srv/http/ips/system/Settings/Settings.php(182): IPS\\Db\\_Select->setKeyField()\n#8 /srv/http/ips/system/Settings/Settings.php(132): IPS\\_Settings->loadFromDb()\n#9 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Db.php(621): IPS\\_Settings->__get()\n#10 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(383): IPS\\_Db->preparedQuery()\n#11 /srv/http/ips/system/Db/Select.php(281): IPS\\Db\\_Select->runQuery()\n#12 /srv/h...', referer: http://localhost/

I have confirmed the functionality of my localhost by successfully installing a competing product. But I digress.  It pleases me to know that Invision shall have this resolved in due time.

Not yet, but we've been working on it for a little while now so I imagine not too too far off 😉 

Bump. Any updates?
